Swiftly ON the schoolboy slides

Bright his eye, and his cheek glows

Hoary age is creeping on

A New Joke by Our own tvarts.
From the Phtladelphia Record.

FROM me EHttdUetpnlG hecOfu.
Speaking of George Washington always re
minds me of that good story of how Evarts told
Lord Coleridge when they were at Mount Yer
non the legend of Washington throwing a dol.
lar across the Rappahannock But" objected
Coleridge, the Rappahannock's a broad
stream" Yes retorted Evarts. but you
must remember that dollar went further in
those days" At a dinner party not long ago
Evarts was chaffed a little about the many
stories attributed TO him by the newspapers,
and incidentally tins one was praised as his best.
oh" said Evarts modesty, II don't say all
the good things that are credited to me. Every
now and then some anonymous newspaper
paragrapher says a wittier thing than any of
u.s. Now, what might have said to Lord Cole
ridge was that it was not SD strange that George
Washington threw a dollar across river since
he threw a sovereign across the sea-" That was
certainly rs bright as the other. Yet Evarts
begins to snow the effects of his seventy years.
He repeats himself. He has got off that witty
remark originally presented to the Clover Club,
that like some other great enterprises he lacked
terminal facilities, half a dozen times. am
afraid he will never be President.

about 10 years old, and suffers from con
sumption. He says he was taken first tc
Boston, then sent back to Philadelphia
where he was placed under the charge of al

he is wanted for some offense against the

Ex-Secretary Manning's Death.

Ex-Secretary Manning, whose death is
announced in our dispatches this morning,
was in the prime of life, being only So years
of age. Overwork and the confinement
which his arduous duties as Secretary of the
Treasury imposed upon him brought on
paralysis, from which he never fully
recovered.
He was man of splendid physique and
fine mental endowments. The par5 which
he played in the political affairs of New
York and of the nation was prominent
one. For years he was one of the most con-
spicuous leaders of the Democratic party of
the Empire State. He was trusted and re-
lied upon, and few men enjoyed to greater
extent the confidence of his party.
To his shrewd management Mr.. Cleveland
largely owed his nomination for President
He impressed upon the party that its sue
cess required that it should carry New
York, and he made it clear that no Demo-
Gratis chance of carrying it was so great as
that of Mr.. Cleveland.
Mr.. Cleveland fully recognized his obliga-
ton to Mr. Manning, and depended largely
upon his advice and counsel. 1t was the
impression that Mr.. Manning did not care
to enter the Cabinet, but Mr.. Cleveland in
sisted upon having him there, and he would
have remained there, doubtless. if his health
had permitted.
Mr.. Manning's administration of the
Treasury Department was very able one.
He handled the financial affairs of the
nation in way that commanded the re-
spect and confidence Of the entire country.
The announcement of his determination to
leave the Cabinet was heard with general
regret. Expressions of sorrow for his death
will not be confined TO bis own State

this item was saved for the last, probably
because it was among the best; Judge Ly-

Congress- and he was proud of the distinc-

reason oft, but since the new members have
come in his hopes have been shattered Mr..
Johnston, of the Buncombe district of
North Carolina, not only has every element

Mr. Chairman, there seems to be no question
but that this man Edmunds is entitled to the
seat. He got the most votes, the people evi-

Eli Lucas Long Nap.

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
DR.. Gober, the physician at the Frankfort
Pententiary, relates most remarkable case in
the history of his professional practice. He
says that two years ago Eli Lucas (colored)
came to the penitentiary from Louisville, under
a life sentence for murder, and that until with
in six months past he was healthy and capable
of performing the heaviest labor, AT that time
he manifested extreme nervousness, and would
shrink and crouch into corners as if experience
ing great fright. He soon lost the use of every
member of his body, and then fell into a heavy
stupor that evidenced the loss of all sensation.
In this condition, dead man to all appearances
except au occasional turning of the head, he re-
manned until the day of the Inauguration Of
Gov. Buckeer when he showed the first symp-
toms of returning life by making a feeble effort
to mutter. Two weeks ago there was an appar-
ent Improvement and to-day the doctor pro-
nounced him restored sound in body and mind.
Lucas says he doesn't remember his illness. He
thought he had been in the hospital but a day
or two, and was surprised to awaken from an
April ma to learn that he was in the middle of
the month of October. The treatment was ad-
dressed to the brain as the seat of the nerve
centres
